r/Prorevenge Devious Teacher Tricks Spoiled Students into Failing! 

This 30-minute video is all 1 story, so buckle in for a truly epic tale!

"He quit hanging with his friends and graduated with honors in a lucrative field" Character development

The one senior who thanked the OP makes me realize that people can change in a good a way

I love the sheer energy radiating from the phrase "F*ck Larry. I have kids who *actually* want to succeed."

The amount of safe guards this teacher had to put in place is incredible - had to be cover every possible angle, every tiny crack these students would try to get through. TBH it looked like it would have been easier just to do it the work instead of finding every which way to circumvent the system.

I feel like the real victory is that one senior who redeemed himself later on and graduated with honors.

Let’s applaud for that one senior who got his act together in college👏

The intelligence given too this teacher could’ve turned him into a supervillain or a super rich man but he choose to absolutely demolish some seniors what a chad my respect

This is why I always *HATED* group projects at school I'd rather fail on my own than have others drag me down with them

This teacher didn't trick his students into failing, they failed on their own. He just removed their safety nets.

"I can't be sued for eating fish during a meeting" was worth the half hour of listening

A little disappointed you cut the prelude out, where he'd worked at another school where he was always being thrown under the bus, and was grateful when the principle of this school told him that as long as he held true to the rules, the principle would back him, then did so. Gives even more depth to the tale, I thought. Very good choice, though!

This teacher sounds EXACTLY like how my high school history teacher taught. I THRIVED kicking the sucky kids out of my group and I even fired myself out of a group of kids that all sucked. It was SO MUCH FUN. Ms. Stacy. I love you. Shout out to you, you totally radicalized me.

I gotta say, I actually like this teacher. They are tough, yet fair, and doesn't take shit from anyone.

Larry: Im about to ruin this man's career Teacher: *_uno reverse card_* no u

Honestly, I wish this was in malicious compliance because expecting students to work and setting boundaries isn’t revenge. As a teacher, it’s discouraging to have to do things like this to protect ourselves from parents and students.

as a probationary teacher, this story taught me a lot... I need to stop being lazy and start organizing and documenting everything I do just to prepare for parent confrontations if ever.

I'm glad one of the seniors in that story actually managed to turn around. Good for him. The rest got what was coming to them.

As a teacher, I'm so grateful to this teacher for telling me about how Google Docs is timestamped.

God the 'hyperspecific rubric' thing. I love it. I hated assignments where it was like 'Student was creative, student used class time wisely'. Kudos to the teacher who has the hyperspecific rubric.

That person is an incredible teacher! I WISH I had even one teacher like that when I was in HS. I may have actual cared if it seemed like a teacher wasn’t just there for the benefits. (My HS used “no kid left behind” as a reason to push failing kids through school.)

... this teacher is the reincarnated, albeit less important version of Julius Ceaser. His tactics are cunning, well thought out and have few to no holes. Seriously this guy could plan a military strategy as effectively as he planned out his syllabus...

Just realized how messed up Larry is. He’s willing to get a teacher fired to pass. Keep in mind, teachers go to college for years just to get the same pay as a lot of garbage men.

It’s sad seeing kids ruin their lives due to a lack of awareness and standards, but at the same time it makes way for the few of us who WILL be successful in life. I myself am starting my senior year in a week at a new school and I choose not to fall into that trap and end up selling weed and ruining my family name.

This story reminds me of some of the stuff I saw in school. As a student, I was tutoring classmates. This helped me because I had to know the course material good enough to explain it to someone else, and frequently found coding errors, explained why it won't work, and how to fix it. One time I ran into a Larry/Moe/Curley type character. This is two days before the end of the semester. I'm finishing polishing the documentation on my term project. This guy hadn't done jack (feces) all semester. Wanted me to write all the programs for an entire semester of FORTRAN so he can turn it in as his own work. Of course, it is not going to help him learn the material for the final. I also needed a biology credit, so I took Biology Of Human Reproduction. Up front, I took it as a serious class. Everybody else appeared to take it as a mick (Mickey Mouse) because they do it (fornicate) all the time. The class went into a lot of internal anatomy and internal functions, including childbirth and breast feeding. The teacher posted grades by student I D number to keep it anonymous. This part sounds silly. One class segment covered periods, and its function in reproduction. Turns out I knew more about periods than the girls did. I aced the midterm covering this topic. The next highest grade as I recall was a C+. That would include all the girls. Because the topic was foreign to me, I sought out all the extra credit assignments I could get. At the end of the semester, the teacher told me that if I got hit by a bus and missed the final, I still would have gotten an A- for the class.

"I didn't read that so it doesn't apply." There isn't a judge in this world who would accept that excuse, especially on a signed contract/agreement.

This could be a top-selling anime

I was a student that whilst very intelligent, I didn’t apply myself at all. I knew everything in (most of) my classes, and the teachers all knew this. But I had severe ADHD and was really troubled, and just couldn’t do the work. But was incredibly engaged in class and in what we were learning, and during in class tests, etc. but when it came to projects or homework? I couldn’t do a thing. And so in highschool where that was 90% of your grade? I always failed. And would have to retake classes. Well one class I retook I had a different teacher. A new teacher. And he could tell right away how much I knew about the subject, especially having taken the class before. Hell because he was new at teaching I helped him ALOT. And he tried working with me to get me to have enough to pass. And there was one project he really, really put in effort to get me to complete just so he could pass me. But I was such a troubled kid that I just couldn’t give it my attention. So I expected to fail the class once again, and he really was visibly upset about that. We got along rather well, and he definitely cared. But nobody could reach me at that age basically. My grade before the project was like 56. So an F. And the project was the only thing that would have changed that. I didn’t do it. So I got my grades back at the end of the year, took a look, and I had a grade of exactly 60.0 so a D- exactly. I glanced up at him and he just gave me a little smile. And while I did eventually get expelled and never graduate high school, I’ll never forget what that teacher, in his first year of teaching, did for me. He knew I had potential even if I didn’t. And I wish this story had a more happier ending, I did go down a bad path following these events, (have since smartened up and got my life on track, I’m 29 now) I did get my GED years back, but I will never forget that teacher. Although I’m pretty sure he wasn’t at that school the following year. So I think I’m the only one who remembers him from my area. But I hope he’s still teaching, because we both taught eachother a lot that year.

Wow I would have loooved going to this teacher’s class! Just everything being this organized and laid out from the get-go 👌🏻 Also holy shit this is one of the best things I’ve read period.

To the one senior who changed and got honors, *Claps* YES!

Can we get a round of applause for that one senior who got their life together?! Absolutely beautiful

Retired teacher here. LOVED every moment of this tale!

"If you ever had a teacher you loved, send them an e-mail" I fear I'mma need your e-mail now, OP. I kinda wanna be that kind of teacher, super nice to hard working students but unforgiving for lazy bums. Thing is I have no idea how I could apply it to THAT level with the classes I'll be teaching (in university that is). That story was awesome!

Can't believe Larry was devious enough to try the "teacher emotionally abusing student" angle to cheat out a better grade, but also stupid enough to think it would work in front of an impartial witness who saw everything (or more accurately, the lack of everything).

This story had me grinning like an idiot the whole time.

He didn’t trick his students, I actually applaud his incredible effort to afford his students every opportunity. He simply covered his own ass

Had a teacher back in my sophomore year of high school. Was legit the hardest and strictest chemistry teacher in the whole school (it was a large school with around 3000 students). It really got my shit together as I had to work very hard to try and get a good grade in the class. Unfortunately my old high school was full of a lot of spoiled rich kids and there was a plot of kids that made a plan to form a group of girls and eventually got him fired for sexual harassment all because his class was very hard. Despite his class being hard af, he was one of my favorite teachers. It really sucks that this is all it takes to get someone fired.

''Entitled embryo'' is the best phrase i've heard all day

this teacher wrote a book about tricking 7 spoiled students into failing on their own with multiple chances to redeem themselves

rSlash: “so what I said to them-“ Car insurance ad: “you know how to customize your car with liberty mutual?”

I really hope that the student who redeemed himself either has or will see this video and go out for drinks or something with the op because that would be such a wholesome way to end such a good story.

This teacher is the smartest guy who ever met Karens and Chads, and if I'm not wrong, he made two Karens to be, less of a Karen

This teacher is like the main character of that school

"When will we ever need this?" = parents that have failed to teach their children to appreciate being competent. That quote speaks more about the parents than the kid.

This teacher is amazing, If I wasn't homeschooled I would want to be their student :D edit: Bro I am kinda glad at least one of the seniors redeemed themselves shout out to him... He even emailed his highschool teacher dude leveled up :D

seniors: fail and try to get parents against teachers Teacher: gives multiple attempts to better grades Parents: can you prove they messed up? Teacher : *AH YES IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW*

This wasn’t pro revenge. This was NUCLEAR revenge. Imagine being OP and marking homework and just watching these students line up for their own execution... OP. You are savage. My teachers would love you!~

Holy bad ass teacher batman. There need to be more of that kind of teacher

My son graduated last year. Before ditch day, I told him “Take the day off, I’ll call in the excuse. And CHECK TEAMS!”. He and all his friends were sick that day, several of them genuinely spent the day in bed (no Ferris Beuler). He did wonderfully in his first semester at university. I’m super proud of him, and happy with his school. My daughter started high school this year and it’s been a bit bumpy. THIS is when you deal with it- not senior year. If you want your kids to survive college, they can’t be having Mommy anywhere near their senior classes. If they aren’t suitable for University, then okay. If college isn’t right, plan a trade, or even a gap year because you really don’t know what to do yet. I know adolescence is later and later, but if you’re planning on sending them off to university, they have to be ready. Emotional resilience, life skills, study skills, group skills, and most importantly, time management skills. The speed goes up dramatically, and it’s hard for my kiddo, who is gifted, loves studying and school, etc. I see parents from other schools, they were oblivious like these ones were. The way our school prepared them, kids were set up for success. They did so much work with the kids on learning about learning. What’s their learning style, what works for them, what doesn’t, how to be a better learner, it’s been amazing. And none of the seniors were like those kids- the way it’s done, those kids wouldn’t have pranced their way through, it’s full of teachers like this guy. He really gets it- it’s about learning, not about the show. PS. My son is stuck at school for xmas😢. Fortunately he has Aunties that are taking care of him!

Larry: *plotting something* Teacher: Oh you think YOU'RE the mc??

Congrats to that one kid who realized the current path they were on was a dark one, and figured themselves out before it was too late

It really makes me very happy that at least one of those seniors woke up after what happened and got his act together

Love this teacher. I struggled a lot in school as someone who is ADHD and Autistic. One of my biggest struggles was group projects because I always wanted to do things to the T and most of the time I ended up with people that wanted to cut corners. In big part because I was very shy and if a friend or two wasn't in the class with me I just ended up in whatever group had a space left. The fact that the teacher was this meticulous and organized would have been my dream. All the tutoring and stuff he offered is great too. I had several classes where I just could not function and the teachers in those classes never tried to help me. It would have been nice to have a teacher like this that actually cared in those classes.

Dude, if these kids spent as much effort on their grades as they do their schemes, they would already have those As! xD

The teacher wasn't devious at all. It was a great learning experience for everyone. If you don't do the work, you fail. He didn't scam them, they still could have passed if they did the work. This was the most fair story.

This is probably my absolute favorite story on r/slash. I'm glad that one student was able to realize that he needed to do a 180 and get a much better life. I am also glad that "Curly" was able to get a job (not necessarily one I would want; I am just glad he got a job).

not only is the teacher trying everything to help students pass his class, he's also doing everything to protect himself from bad students who have even worse parents, true GOAT

"There are people who will scheme for five days to avoid three days of honest work." ~ Terry Pratchett (Or something like that)

Wait ... What? One of the seniors actually manned up? Didn't expect that... Too bad Moe is more dangerous now...

Honestly, good on that one kid who did good. Even better that he sent an email to the teacher thanking him for showing him his way wasn't the right one.

This is why I don’t go for classes that have so many obligatory group projects. I mean, if hard-working students stuck with leeching students have to “grab at Extra Credit opportunities _constantly_ ”, that’s a sign their mark depends too much on other people. 😂

I imagine if Karen asks for a manager and the manager was a Karen too... Imagine OP in that situation Edit: hmmm....here is a story from me 😁 Karen1: excuuuuuuuuuuuse me can i buy 20 packs of toilet paper pleeeeeeaaaasssee, its for my Precious baby aaaaaaaaangel OP: im sorry, but we only allow 2 packs of toilet paper for customers to buy Karen1: Ughh, I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER NOW! OP: okay maam, ( OP goes to find a manager ) OP: ummm.... excuse me Kar- Manager (Karen 2) : WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU LAZY FAT*** I WILL FIRE YOU IF YOU DONT GO WORK NOW! OP: someone wants to speak to you Manager: uuUUuUuuUuggghh, I DONT CARE GO NOW OR ILL- ( Karen 1 sees the manager ) Karen 1: excuuuuuussseeeee ME, YOUR EMPLOYEE HARRASED AND ASSAULTED ME AND I WANT HIM FIRED NOW!!! AND ALSO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT AS COMPENSATION OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE Manager: OP YOU ARE FIRED, GO NOW OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE! OP: but i- Manager: GO NOW, YOU ARE A STU**D EMPLOYEE YOU PIECE OF S*** Karen 1: WhHEeeRrREeeE is mYYyyYY DiIISCcOooOuUUnT???!!! Manager: NooOoO DISCOUNT FOR YOoOUuuU! Karen: HOW COULD YOU!!! LOOK AT MY PRECIOUS BABY ANGEL SHE IS SAD BECAUSE OF YOU! I WILL CALL THE POLICE NOW!!! Manager: ME TOO!!! ( both calls the police while OP is sad because he isnt special in the story) Karen 1: YOU WILL BE FIRED FOR THIS Manager: NO YOU WILL GO TO JAIL FOR THIS ( POLICE COMES ) I now have woken from my slumber, imma eat breakfast first.🍪

Leaving aside the ones who got what was coming to them, this teacher managed to save 1 kid's future. Awesome job!

My 8th grade teacher is the nicest teacher I've ever seen. If he's not the number one favorite, he'll totally be that one teacher that every students will run to and open up to complains or talk about silly stuff. But he can be devious at times, ESPECIALLY exams. He's DEFINITELY NOT one of those teachers with simple examples and complicated exam problems, but he KNOWS that most students wouldn't bother to read the instructions completely once they got the "gist" of what needs to be done. THAT'S where he will put trick instructions. For example, he puts a blank before a problem, your initial assumption is to put your answer ON the blank, but his instructions would SAY to put your answer AFTER the problem. That made us, his students, to realize that reading THOROUGHLY is important.

cudos to the 1 senior that turned his life around and graduated with honors

I stood and clapped at the senior who managed to turn his life around. While the rest are unmitigated failures, that one senior probably is what makes this teacher feel like it's all worth it in the end. Everyone makes mistakes, but it takes a smart person to learn from those mistakes, and thank goodness this teacher was there to give them the kick in the balls they needed.

The parents of these kids are more proof that not everyone is cut out to raise children.The whole point of being a parent is to do everything possible to prepare them for the real world,so if you're a lazy jerk who doesn't want to make time to do any actual work to help your kids,just don't have any!I'll never understand why some parents don't get this very simple logic.🙄Great story,and I absolutely love this amazingly brilliant teacher.☺️

Ah, yes, the authentic Seven Deadly Sins: 1. Sloth 2. Sloth 3. Sloth 4. Sloth 5. Sloth 6. Sloth 7. Larry

This dude covered all his bases. This was not his first rodeo. He was 4 parallel universes ahead the whole time.

As a kid who had to pull the weight of my partners in the group almost every single time, I highly enjoyed this

I like how the one time he censors it is to say “F*** Larry.”

Kids like these are why kids who are actually struggling, especially with executive dysfunction, are unable to get the help they need in school. And I’m so glad that it was a teacher like this giving these seniors the revenge they were deserved.

I know this might not mean much, but I have been going through a really bad time. I go to sleep listening to your channel. It's one of the very few times I have felt warmth in the past couple of months. Thank you for doing this.

I was a foster child and in my freshman year I was failing a few classes and I had a routine mandatory meeting with the principal, my foster parents, my caseworker, and my casa. Quite frankly I was depressed and school and classes we're not at the Forefront of my mind at the time. If I failed a certain number of classes I would get privileges taken away, for example not being able to see my bio family, not being able to hang out with friends, basically just locked down until my grades got better. My history teacher got the email that this was going to happen and pulled me aside after class and asked quite frankly what would happen at this meeting if I failed his class and I told him. He ended up changing my grade from an F to a C right then, and making me promise to come in everyday during lunch to get caught up, and I did! I still think about him to this day and how he was willing to do that for me so I would still be able to see my family. That man was the best.

This guy’s “entitled parent” voice is perfect.

I loved this shit it actually reminded me to shoot my favourite teacher a message. I pretty much gave up during 10 and 11 and was failing a lot of my classes or just barely passing. My favourite teacher did a lot to try and improve my day because she knew I was struggling mentally. She also helped me change my outlook on school. I can now say I’ve been accepted into all of my top 5 college choices and I graduated highschool with honours including several marks in the 90 zone

OP, this was an absolutely epic story. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being an amazing teacher. rSlash, you did amazing reading this. Major props on the performance! and thank you for your time formatting this content in a way I can listen to/from work!

I actually almost became these type of seniors during highschool. I was actually a hard-working student but began becoming lazy over the years. I got some bad grades in my senior year but I still graduated. Unlike the parents in this video my mother cared so much about my future that she yelled and scolded me. She told me to stop being lazy as I wasn't going anywhere in life with that kind of attitude. I decided she was right as I was sad I didn't get the grades I wanted and do some actual work in college. I manage to get all A's in my classes so far and next fall is going to be my 3rd semester. I'm still going to try my hardest even though each semester is tough.

This is a 30 minutes story. Imagine someone make this as a movie.

I really enjoyed this long-form epic tale of detailed positive revenge.

I wish I had a teacher who was this dedicated to helping me pass. All mine did was tell me to ask for my parents' help since they did the lesson, and i must not have been paying attention if I wasn't 100% understanding. I never graduated high school. But I never had a teacher put in so much work to help me.

I'm a senior, but due to covid my finals are pushed back in time I'm not a perfect student, always preferred to work smart not hard School has thought me that hard work doesn't really pay off, since the teachers I've met never really cared who did what and how much If you had straight A's (5's cause Europe) you could simply ruin your grade with 1 or 2 tests (which is I think a flaw in my countries education system) Only once had a teacher helped me in such a situation My English teacher saw my work throughout the years but on one day we had 2 tests (one was verbal and the other grammar/new words) A few days prior my grandfather died I was crushed by this news I couldn't focus, eat and had problems breathing (cause of asthma in stressful situations) I couldn't visit him too often cause of my parent's divorce (which was a 6 year long bloodbath) and we were 800km apart As I turned 18 I could hop on a bus and visit him myself, before it wasn't possible I stayed in Germany for 6 weeks I worked 6 days in a week for 10/11h (so I could afford to stay and buy ride back home) and every evening I'd go and visit my grandfather who I hadn't seen in a years He died a few months later I didn't tell anyone, cause I'm simply not that type of guy I'd rather hurt silently than sob on someone's shoulder My English teacher asked me to stay after class and explain what had happened She didn't believe that I simply screwed up I told her about my loss She said it's ok and asked if I'm willing to take those tests again (which is something students technically had the right to, but in our school the teacher didn't obey the "law" if I might say so) I gladly accepted her offer and got an A in the end No one can motivate a student more than his teacher I'll be thankful forever This teacher is another good example

Unfortunately, the teacher in high school that changed my life passed away a couple years after my graduation. This is my way of thanking her now. Mrs. Maxwell, wherever you are, thank you. You changed so many kid's lives and I know I wouldn't be the man I am without you.

This op didn't trick them into failing, they nuked their safety nets and just sat back with a cup of coffee and watched them fall.

Holy crap, this teacher is the GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN of teachers

This guy is like the littlefinger of teaching. Just goes to show the lawyers are right when they say document EVERYTHING.

I had a tough teacher once when I was in high school. Toughest SOB I knew that took no nonsense from his students. I gave him crap for 3 years (I was a TERRIBLE student who hated rules) but he really couldn't do much to me. However he persevered and one year I absolutely tanked my math class (first test on the toughest math HS had to offer. 3%, rounded up) and he took the time and effort to educate me properly. O-Levels I had A's in his classes, including that math class (from 3% in that first test) and I honestly must say he's set the foundation for the rest of my education that A-Levels I was among the top 10 students in the school (and top 1% in the state). Math had become my STRONGEST subjects (there were multiple math subjects where I am). When I graduated A-Levels I wrote him a letter thanking him (as well as letting him know how I went). Needless to say he read that letter to all his students, boasting about how he pulled me up from 3%. I unfortunately have never seen him again, as the next time I was in town I've heard he had passed.

I've read or heard this more than once because I love it so much. I think we've all had to deal with people in school or work that didn't pull their fair share and to hear people getting their butts handed to them so fully is so satisfying.

" If you ever had a teacher you loved, send them an E-mail" nope I call her every year an wish her happy birthday and merry Christmas (26.12 her birthday) she was my elementary school teacher.... I'm out of elementary school for 20 years now awesome teacher I LOVE this story Teacher that do so much to be fair and help you are the best I had some family troubles when I was in high school and my teacher THERE once asked me while I was late for first class in morning regularly, when otherwise I was more diligent I broke down and cried and told her all that was going on after that NO teacher ever said anything again about me being laid they only reminded me when there was a test coming up next, to make sure I had enough time but I could always quietly slip in without getting written up saved my grades helped me immensely in general by removing some of the pressure

I just needed to say, that the bit about adjusting the syllabus due to the stress of finals/other teachers just made me respect this teacher so much. So many teachers can be unfair, but when teachers actively adjust their schedules to help their students. MMMMM Thats the good shit.

"I shall name them Larry, Curly and Moe" That is how my father became a fan

I've listened to this story twice and I could listen to it again, it's just that good.

When it comes to potential harassment, this teacher is like "I'm going to end this thing before it begins". That is impressive

class: Whatever.jpg that is my favorite part

This guy could be a devastating political strategist; he's found a way to make facts and evidence have real impact!

I loved the last story with the teacher but the ending of it, REALLY got me and burst into tears. I was a punk little emo girl who was also is incredibly smart. Nothing but As and Bs in my classes and I was in MANY after school activities on top of it whilst being a normal teenager and rebelling. My favorite class was Science. After school everyday, I stopped by his class and talked to him. He had a side room filled with snakes, animals, and bugs. I loved that class and I loved that man very dearly. Unfortunately, he passed about 5 years back due to Cancer. I think about him once in a while when Nostalgia hits me. I would give anything to talk to that man again. I would give a Large Gold Cookie to be able to email him. It hurts.

10:03 Students: *finds Inspect Element* "It is a simple spell but quite unbreakab-" Teacher: *Ctrl+R*

Really thrilled that one of them managed to turn them self around. It would have taken an honest appraisal and a lot of work to do that. A+

Fantastic teacher! Reminds me of a few I had in high school (decades ago). These are the ones that REALLY care. Not only are they teaching subject matter, they’re preparing students for the REAL world. It’s good to k ow they still exist and we need more of them.

Well at least one bum turned his life around. One is better than none. Always nice to hear such entitled bums take responsibility for once.
